Living In The Past

With Apologies to Jethro Tull

Really, 2009?

Really?

So I'm running this report. Apparently I applied for a job as a Systems Administrator, and they gave me a job as an Administrative Assistant. But that's not the point.

The point is, this report will only run straight into a browser, as HTML. There are no other options to save it in any other format. In 2009.

I'm pretty sure this is the future--many Gibsons into the future, at least. And I'm pretty sure that the modern robots of today are perfectly capable of generating files in multiple formats.

Today I am very disappointed in the architects of tomorrow.
